Fotoo (previously Fotoo Hosting) is a script aimed to be used as a image hosting web-service, like imgur and others.
- Tech: PHP 7.4+ (tested with 7.4 to 8.3), SQLite3, HTML, CSS, vanilla Javascript
- Lightweight, fast
- Images are resized in the browser before upload:
- zero computing resource taken on server
- image upload is faster for the user
- less data usage on mobile plans!
- fallback to server resize for clients without javascript
- Accepts WEBP, JPEG, PNG, SVG and GIF (even animated GIF files and transparent PNGs)
- Preview before upload
- Fast static image view
- Can upload multiples pictures at a time (albums)
- Small thumbnail created for each picture
- Can associate a title to each picture
- List of the pictures hosted
- Can make an album private (won't appear in list)
- Easy deletion of pictures
- Short URL for images, for use with twitter-like websites
- Easy integration of pictures in forums and blogs, using either BBcode or HTML
- Fast resize using the best engine available (from either IMlib, Imagick or GD)
- Configuration can be easily changed
- Intelligent image resize for GIF and PNG files (if created thumb is too big (>50KB) then the thumb will be made in JPEG to keep small image size)
- Supports IP address banning to protect from spammers
Demo: i.kd2.org (upload is disabled)
Just download the fotoo.php file, rename it to index.php, and place it in an empty directory of your web server, and open it in your web browser.
You will need php7.4-sqlite3 for the database and php7.4-imagick for the image resizing, but you can also use php7.4-gd (slower).
Migration from versions 2.0.x to 2.1.x require a small upgrade to the database schema, see changelog notes below.
Other versions don't require anything.
- Delete album when all images in album have been deleted
- Allow to add new images to an album
- Fix resize using max_width (thanks @Opitux)
- Add support for copy/pasting images directly
- Add support for drag and dropping images
- Improve position and size of previous/next buttons when viewing an image
- Simplify albums and single images: merge them for upload and browsing
- Ability to add/remove images from upload list
- Use WebP by default for smaller images
- Improve UI/UX
- Add ability to define an expiry for albums and images
- Thumbnail is now generated by the browser as well (zero server load!)
- Better handling of SVG and transparent PNG/WebP images
- When navigating in images of an album after upload, keep the session key in URL so that individual images can be deleted
- Add ability to download an album as a ZIP file
- Fix BBcode for albums
UPGRADE! To upgrade your local database open it with SQLite3 client and enter:
ALTER TABLE pictures ADD COLUMN ip TEXT NULL;
This will add a new column necessary for the new IP storage.
- Allow to remove multiple images or albums at once (admin mode)
- Now storing IP address of uploaders
- Automatic IP storage expiration (to remove IP addresses after X days according to local laws)
- IP banning (supports masks, wildcards and IPv6) in local configuration
- Fix: Don't force Imagick use
- Fix: JS bug fix in single file upload when selected file was changed
- Fix: password security in javascript
- Complete rewrite and redesign using client-side Javascript/Canvas/HTML5 resize
- Ability to upload multiple pictures at a time in albums
- Admin mode is easier to use
- Initial release with Flash-based client resize and upload

The default password is fotoo, to change it follow the next question and change:
$config->admin_password = 'fotoo';
to the password you like the most.
Download the config.example.php file, rename it to config.php, and edit it to suit your needs, by un-commenting the lines you want to change.
Just create a file named style.css in the same directory as the application.
The best way to do this is to edit the .htaccess in the directory where you installed the software and add this:
php_value upload_max_filesize 8M
Change 8M by the size you want to allow (see the PHP FAQ to know what notations are allowed).
Please note that you'll be also limited by the post_max_size value, which you might need to change too:
php_value upload_max_filesize 16M
php_value post_max_size 16M
By default, Fotoo will take as the size limit the smallest value of those configuration directives.
If you want to upload a picture from your computer to your Fotoo instance, you'll need curl and to use this command:
curl -i -F name="Image title" -F private=0 -F upload=@mypicture.jpg http://fotoo.example.com/?upload | grep '^Location' | sed 's/^Location: //'
Replace "Image title" and "mypicture.jpg" with your own image title and image file. Replace private=0 with private=1 to tell Fotoo to hide the picture from the public gallery.
Write this into the .htaccess of the directory where you installed this software:
<FilesMatch "\.(jpg|png|gif)$">
FileETag none
ExpiresActive on
ExpiresDefault "access plus 90 days"
</FilesMatch>
You'll need to have mod_expire enabled.
Pretty easy, add this to your config.php:
$config->image_page_url = substr($config->image_page_url, 0, -1);
$config->album_page_url = substr($config->image_page_url, 0, -2) . 'a=';
And add this to the .htaccess in the directory where you have put the software:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*) /index.php?$1 [QSA,L]
You might need to change the /index.php path if you're not at the root. eg. if you put the software in http://example.com/hosting/ you will have to change /index.php to /hosting/index.php.
It's easy, create the config file (see above), find the line with this:
#$config->allow_upload = true;
And replace it with this:
$config->allow_upload = 'check_upload_access';
function check_upload_access()
{
$username = 'fotoo';
$password = 'abcd';
if (isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']) && isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'])
&& $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] == $username && $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'] == $password)
{
return true;
}
else
{
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="FotooHosting"');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
die("Unauthorized access forbidden!");
}
}
Don't forget to replace username and password with your own.
